The story
Kirchenwirt Weissenkirchen in Krems an der Donau anchors its menu in generational Hausmannskost, guided by the Wildeis family. Chef Jürgen Bicker now runs the kitchen, favoring seasonal produce and straightforward techniques over imported trends. Marian Alberty oversees service, matching the steady rhythm of the valley.
The kitchen builds its foundation around ingredients arriving from nearby farms and river waters. You will find Waldviertler carp prepared simply, alongside stuffed peppers and wide band noodles tossed with fresh Marchfelder asparagus. These dishes pair naturally with bottles sourced from top Wachau vineyards. Gault & Millau awarded the restaurant eleven points for this consistent approach to traditional Austrian cooking.
Guests gather in the new summer garden, where seating faces the historic church tower and the flowing Danube. Inside, the architecture prioritizes acoustic comfort, with slightly uneven walls designed to soften sound across the dining room. Rooms follow the same principle, leaving nothing to chance regarding rest and routine.
